Beautiful cottage, in an excellent location for exploring. Everything we needed was there for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday. Hosts are very welcoming and lovely people. Aircon was a particular bonus!

The orangery is a home from home, everything you need for a self catering holiday and more. We were lucky enough to have the best weather with the heat wave and the air conditioning in the orangery was an added bonus! The hot tub is lovely, the little added extras, like robes and slippers, welcome hamper are really lovely. David and Adrienne are both lovely people, the orangery is set on their property grounds, but you do not feel like that as the court yard garden is so secluded.If you like a pub lunch/dinner or a trip to the beach then a car is a must or a taxi which we found to be quite expensive. This did not take away from the wonderful holiday we had, made even better with the fantastic property we stayed in
